The unnamed Bulldozer Driver was tasked by Weatherfield County Borough Council with the demolition of an OAP Clubhouse in April 1969 to make way for a car park. He met a vigorous opponent in the form of Ena Sharples who organised a petition, then a sit-down protest in front of Weatherfield Town Hall and, when that didn't work, a sit-in at the clubhouse with bedding and supplies to make it a long one should circumstances demand it.
